a journey to an extraordinary destination...

the name

Vc originated in 1995 when one optimistic young lady saw a greater vision and sought to elevate the industry… “to be the best!” the best place to work, to grow others, and to bring the best to our communities. today, Vc has done that, and continues to do that, in so many ways.

from the moment you enter our salon you will encounter our commitment to excellence. Our lively atmosphere lends itself to a warm and inviting experience where creative artisans are committed to meeting your needs with an unparalleled level of quality.

by creating a transformative, “wow” experience, and inspiring people to look and feel beautiful every day – at Vc, it’s about more than just the look; it’s an outlook. We strive to create a sense of significance, self-worth and belonging to everyone we touch.

our mission is to create a supportive team, constantly evolving, allowing a balance for being prosperous, creatively free and spiritually whole. we accomplish this by staying true to our industry through trends, fashion, education and editorial excellence – to do things no one else would do (or everyone else says not to do).

Vc runs with scissors!

elevate the industry...

vc has evolved to mean much more to us than just a place to work. we want every employee to have the ability for growth, and to feel ownership and pride in the business and our successes. we’ve even created a board of directors to provide oversight and insure that we always follow our core principles, as we expand to include new services and products.

for our employees, it means to be part of a true profession – one driven by passion, education, and achievement. and as a profession, employees have the ability to benefit from company-sponsored health care plans, 401k, profit sharing, paid vacation time and in-house education.

for the community, it means participate in, and support of,local bridal shows, women’s expos and charitable events, with assistance to a multitude of local community groups from sports teams, to Locks of Love, Womanspace, Meals on Wheels,z and He Cares/We Care just to name a few.

atmosphere

every time you visit our salon, we want you to experience the opportunity to reconnect with your true self. when you enter our salonspa you will experience earth, air, fire, and water to complete infinity; all the elements that keep us balanced to create significant, self-worth and a sense of belonging.

earth - an expression of nurturing, stability, endurance and strength, the earth represents the natural cycle of birth, life, death and re-birth

air - within the body, oxygen is the basis for all energy reactions. Air is existence without form – without air, there can be no fire. It connects the soul and the breath of life, carries away your troubles and brings wisdom and positive thoughts

fire – possesses the power to transform the state of any substance. Within our body, fire binds the atoms together that convert food to energy; it creates the impulses to control our reactions, feelings and thought processes. an expression of strength of will and energy, fire can create new opportunity while burning away that which no longer serves us

water- water carries away waste and hydrates cells to fight disease. healing and purifying, water cleanses our emotions to make way for new beginnings and blessings

we strive to provide a service and a sense of well-being to all of our guests. consciousness around the products you use, the foods you eat, and the surroundings in which you live are crucial because all of these things can change the way you feel – for better or worse. we believe in offering organic teas and coffees, snacks that are properly combined, organic and/or raw, and products that are organic and fair trade wherever possible.

we look forward to your next visit and invite you to drop by to experience our newest offerings, and to look upon vc as your home away from home...
